Emerald Forest Cabins & RV

We were gonna stay at Sue Meg State Park, but they were full. I am so glad that we found this place. What a beautiful and stunning campground. I can’t believe we felt like we were in the redwood national Forest. Yes, it’s near the highway and you can hear a few cars at night, but it’s not that bad. This isn’t backcountry camping anyway. It’s car camping. Come on people. But it’s car camping that feels like you’re in the backwoods. Bonus, you get all the amenities like running water and flushable toilets and showers. They have dog parks. The little shop has firewood and anything you need that you forgot. Plus, it’s so close to Trinidad and we decided we didn’t want to cook so we ate out every night. Even got a delicious latte in the morning. We had pizza one night too. Just look up all the restaurants in Trinidad. You won’t be disappointed anywhere that you eat. I would totally camp here again. It was so nice. It’s a quick drive up. They 101 to go to the Redwood national Forest for the day. We did a couple great hikes and had a picnic up there, and then came back to the campground. It was awesome.

This is a very nice campground. We stayed here 20 years ago, and it is still as nice as I remembered. Sites are nestled between redwood trees. There are cabins, too, that have all you need. Our friends stayed in cabin and we had our travel trailer. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location is convenient. Would definitely stay there again.

We stayed here over the holiday weekend and had a great time. We usually camp in our RV but decided to have a tent weekend and it was so nice. The spaces were very roomy and not on top of each other and were very clean. The bathrooms were clean and even had showers yes it was 50 cents but I could see how this would cut down on water waste. The gals working in the little store were always very pleasant and it was nice to have plenty of trash cans and a dish washing station. We will definitely be back.

We stayed here for three nights at a tent site. The park itself was beautiful and had a lot of natural charm, which we really enjoyed. Unfortunately, the bathrooms had an unpleasant odor, and we were surprised to find that showers required an additional fee on top of the campground cost. Throughout our stay, multiple neighbors were noisy late into the night, which made it hard to get a good rest. While the setting was lovely, these factors will likely lead us to choose a different campground next time.

Outstanding experience!! The staff was incredibly kind. Premises extremely clean. There are redwoods all around — it feels like you’re camping in the heart of the park! Our tent site, #46, was amazing. Off to the side so it felt very private and spacious. The only slight downside was it was a bit near the highway so we heard cars driving through the night, but not a huge deal. The bathrooms are also sooo nice. Electricity and SO clean! $1.00 in quarters for 10min HOT shower. I’ve never felt more clean during a tent camping trip which was a nice surprise :) definitely stay here!!
